Hi All,
The book really resonated and crystalized the questions i had with the slowlane. My life is pretty awesome, but i'm looking for the business system that will take me to the wealth system described in the book... I calculate an $8 million nest egg at 5% return would give me a comfy 20k per month to enjoy while I'm young.
Now I'm thinking and reading about potential fast-lane opportunities while continuing to grind at my well-paying, satisfying career.
I came across the book by searching the web for lists of "Best Business Books/Best Finance Books", i've already read most of the traditional books, name it, i've probably read it (rich dad poor dad, millionaire mindset, automatic millionare, richest man in babylon, think and grow rich, four hour work week, etc. etc).. i love to read, i took a break for awhile, but back on it now, i read 18 books last year and i'm on my 4th book this year. I had never heard of MF and it appeared on several lists, so i jumped on it first, and very glad I did.
Question to MJ or others, where do you get this 5% return for your nest egg/wealth system? I have enough in savings that i'd love to park it at 5% somewhere while i work on a fastlane business. This detail wasn't covered in the book. Something about Municipal bonds?
Over the years i've tried a number of different 'ventures' and have probably been pitched every scheme out there.
I have a lot of experience in real estate and will probably get back to flipping fixer uppers soon.
Among other things, I have expertise in Information Security, Privacy, SaaS, Cloud, Enterprise, Application security, "Hacking", so if you have questions about these topics I'm glad to contribute.
I live in Silicon Valley. I just spent 3 months working in western europe.
That's me.... hope to help others as much as i can. feel free to ask anything.
